Lemon Bars!

Lemon bars are one of my favorite desserts, mostly because of the citrus component, but also because of the crust. Lemons and grapefruits are some of my favorite things in the world, but cakes and tarts here come at $6 a pop! On a student budget, that's a big chunk of my daily food funds, so I decided to make my own. Lemon bars are so delicious, and I've found another reason to love them - they're so easy to make!

The first part of the ingredients are for the crust, the second part is for the top.
1. Preheat the oven to 175C (350F).
2. Mix the first three ingredients together, and press into the bottom of a pan (9x13 recommended)
3. Bake for about 20 minutes, and let cool for five minutes.
4. Mix 1 1/4 cups white sugar and 1/4 cups flour, then add in the eggs, lemon juice and zest.
5. Pour on top of the crust.
6. Bake for another 20 minutes.
7. Let cool, and dust on a light layer of confectioner's sugar.

Didn't capture the process, but here's a photo from my Instagram @ tammyflin

This is one of the simplest desserts to make, and this recipe is awesomely delicious!
I adopted this recipe from allrecipes.com.

I am Chipotle Monster, Hammy Tammy, Burger Fiend, a lean mean eating machine who loves food, learning, creating, and trying new things. I have a B.S. in Nutritional Science from The University of California Berkeley, a consequence of love for food and biology. I've been moving to a different country every few years for the last decade or so, and I've had the privilege of not only sampling, but actually discovering the uniqueness of some of the cities I've lived in. My no-fluff "scathing reviews" (I prefer honest) of some of the worst and best fooding destinations is really an open diary of me orienting myself in cities around the world.

If you are wondering what Edesian Feast means, the name comes from the Roman goddess of food. With her name associated with luxury and feasting, Edesia is the divine spirit believed to be the one who blesses banquets. As food was and is of utmost importance in Roman culture, it is also very much so in Taiwanese culture. If you've ever met anyone from Taiwan, you know that they're always thinking about what to eat for their next meal...

I'm a coffeefish with a love for steak, sashimi, tacos, key lime pie, and sticky rice cake, but I'll try almost anything once. This is a space to drool and feast your eyes upon delicious pictures and share the best fooding experiences around the world, so don't hesitate to drop me a recommendation and follow my adventures!
